Summary

A steam crane loading coal on to a truck attached to a South Australian Railways locomotive. According to a researcher, what this photograph depicts is a steam crane, refuelling the tender of the locomotive with coal. The vehicle immediately behind the locomotive proper, is its Tender, and is more-or-less a part of the locomotive as it carries the supply of coal and water for the locomotive itself. Another researcher provided the following information: 'The 3 ton coaling grab was built by Cowans, Sheldon, Carlisle. It is one of a batch of three built in 1908; works numbers 2994-2993.'
